Instructions

Chill the Steak: Place the ribeye steak in the freezer for about 30 minutes.
Slice the Steak: Remove and slice into thin strips about 2mm thick.
Prepare the Marinade: Whisk together soy sauce, gochujang, minced ginger, brown sugar, rice wine, minced garlic, black pepper, grated apple, and sesame oil.
Marinate the Steak: Toss the thinly sliced steak in the marinade and let sit for at least 30 minutes.
Cook the Steak: Heat oil in a skillet over high heat, add the marinated steak and sauté for 4–5 minutes.
Sauté Peppers: Add sliced bell peppers and stir for 2–3 minutes.
Assemble the Sandwich: Butter one side of each bread slice, layer sautéed peppers, marinated beef, sesame seeds, cheese, onion, jalapeños, and scallions on two slices, and top with remaining slices.
Cook the Sandwich: Grill the sandwiches for 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crispy.
Add Sauce: Mix mayonnaise with minced garlic and drizzle onto sandwiches while cooking.
Serve: Slice sandwiches in half and serve hot.

Notes

For best flavor, marinate the steak longer if you can. Consider adding kimchi or replacing beef with grilled mushrooms for a vegetarian option.
